News & Announcements
Piedmont Friends Fellowship (PFF) is a collective of 19 Friends (Quaker) Meetings and Worship Groups in North Carolina and nearby areas that gathers for worship and fellowship in the spirit of Friends' quarterly meetings.
Piedmont Friends Yearly Meeting (PFYM) is an openly inclusive Quaker yearly meeting seeking to be of service to monthly meetings and worship groups in the Piedmont region of North Carolina and adjacent areas. Member meetings are both un-programmed and semi-programmed, large and small, firmly Christian and more universal, rural and city, but all share a common commitment to living out examples of a spirit led life of love and compassion, especially as defined by the traditional Quaker testimonies of Peace, Equality, Simplicity, Integrity, and Community
The 2020 Annual Sessions for Piedmont Friends Yearly Meeting were held in June via Zoom.
The epistle from the annual sessions has been distributed and is posted here.
The minutes from the annual sessions meeting for worship with attention to business, plus the appedices, are posted below.
PFYM has set up Google groups for those Quakers (PFF, PFYM and others ) who want to collaborate via email on their shared Peace and Social concerns.
The groups and their associated email addresses are:

More details will follow shortly, but I wanted to make sure everyone has a chance to mark their calendars in the hope that meetings do not schedule competing events. The planned daily schedule for the spring event will be as follows:
The following is a list of the PFF minutes and other documents for which we have digitized data
